        <p>
          First fix a warning that is caused by perl-5.22 and later:
        </p>
        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class="command">sed -i 's:/\\\${:/\\\$\\{:' bin/automake.in</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          Prepare Automake for compilation:
        </p>
        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class=
"command">./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/automake-1.15</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          Compile the package:
        </p>
        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class="command">make</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          There are a couple of tests that incorrectly link to the wrong
          version of the flex library, so we temporarily work around the
          problem. Also, using the -j4 make option speeds up the tests, even
          on systems with only one processor, due to internal delays in
          individual tests. To test the results, issue:
        </p>
        <pre class="userinput">
<kbd class=
"command">sed -i "s:./configure:LEXLIB=/usr/lib/libfl.a &amp;:" t/lex-{clean,depend}-cxx.sh
make -j4 check</kbd>
</pre>
        <p>
          Four tests are known to fail.
        </p>
        <p>
          Install the package:
